Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 142: When I was asked why I was studying, it was not a waste of time to travel this world.
Chapter 142: When I was asked why I was studying, it was not a waste of time to travel this world.
After deciding on the plan to travel abroad, Jia Lan immediately started preparations.
Two days later, he came to Diecui Academy in Juyongguancheng to pay his respects to the headmaster Li Xuanzhu. After hearing Jia Lan's intention, Li Xuanzhu, who was lying on a rocking chair to enjoy the coolness under the tree in the garden, was also slightly startled. He was half-breathed.
His eyes suddenly opened, and Jia Lan suddenly felt that Shan Zhang's entire aura had become sharper.
Li Xuanzhu's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he looked Jialan up and down in an instant, then returned to his half-sized state, and said "oh" lightly.
After a pause, he said slowly: "It is indeed unexpected that you think so, but it is reasonable to put it in your house..."
If it had been anyone else, Li Xuanzhuo would have been frightened and trembling under the glance of Li Xuanzhuo, unable to control himself.
This man has been patrolling the border several times. Not only is he the nine-border guard, but also the four kings guarding the border are polite to him. According to rumors, this veteran is not like a scholar, he stares at you like
Like a knife, it can poke a few bloody holes in your body. If it were the late Ming Dynasty, you would definitely be Lu Xiangsheng, who was both civil and military.
But Jia Lan was a man in his two lives, such as Ma Taopo, Zhang Lao Tao, and even a tiger-headed monster. Naturally, he was not afraid of Li Xuan's power.
He was just a little stunned, because from Li Xuanzhu's tone, it was obvious that he knew the tradition of the Jia family's descendants traveling when they were young.
Li Xuanzhu was probably used to Jialan's monster. A faint smile appeared on his lips and he praised: "I have read the article you wrote at the end of the provincial examination. If you can maintain such a level in the examination, you will be in the first grade."
I can't guarantee it, but I guess it won't be difficult to get a biography."
Hearing the mountain chief's praise, Jia Lan quickly saluted and said humbly: "Sir, that compliment is ridiculous. It's just a temporary feeling, a whim, and an accident. Facing the world's heroes during the examination, students dare not be proud."<
/p>
"Okay, okay, no need to say more polite words..."
Li Xuanzhu waved his hand: "Speaking of study and scholarship, I very much agree with the idea of advancing with the times that you proposed in that article! Advancing with the times... such a simple truth, how many people may really understand it?
?"
He laughed a few times, with a bit of mockery, and leaned back heavily on the recliner.
No wonder the old man lamented that these four words obviously revealed the concept of change, and Li Xuanzhu was the most famous reformer in the court. If it weren't for this man who worked hard to raise funds, food, and rectify the military equipment, the finances of the Great Xia Dynasty would have been
It collapsed during the Jiayou years.
After a while, Li Xuanzhu raised his hand and touched the gray hair on the back of his head, and smiled at Jia Lan: "This man is old, so naturally he misses the past. I have bothered you to listen to him for so long."
Jia Lan waved his hands repeatedly, but heard the mountain leader ask abruptly: "Since you have such an understanding of scholarship, I ask you, what did you learn from reading the books of sages?"
Jia Lan was a little caught off guard. Isn't this question generally asked to primary school students who have just entered school?
This problem is not simple.
Because this is Wen Tianxiang’s famous saying.
"Confucius said that benevolence is achieved, and Mencius said that righteousness is achieved, but the righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the best. What do you learn from reading the books of sages? From now on, you will have no regrets!"
Jia Lan, who was stunned by Li Xuan's question, thought silently.
It is late autumn at this time, and the maple leaves are turning red. Red leaves can be seen flying everywhere in Juyongguan City. The autumn wind brings a fragrant natural atmosphere, which makes people relaxed and happy.
Li Xuan sat down and admired the autumn scenery quietly, letting Jia Lan stand without urging.
What do you learn from reading the books of sages?
Jialan hasn't thought about this problem for a long time.
At first, the reason why he wanted to go out to study was very simple. He just wanted to leave Jia's house as far away as possible to avoid disaster.
Later, as the bond with the Jia family became deeper and deeper, the idea of trying to save it came up, but what could be done if others said nothing?
Naturally, the only way he can go is to study.
Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.
This bowl of chicken soup is poisonous enough, but it is undeniable that poor people study literature and rich people study martial arts. No matter what era they are in, reading and taking exams are the only shortcuts for little people to achieve a level leap.
For Jia Lan, who is only ten years old, obtaining fame through studying has become the only way for him to fight for the right to speak in the Jia family.
【I am becoming more and more utilitarian...】
Thinking back on his various experiences over the past two years, Jia Lan laughed at himself.
He is calm about his utilitarianism. After all, he is traveling through a wealthy and aristocratic family like Rongguo Mansion. Even though Jia Lan and his son seem to be ignored in Jia Mansion, Li Wan can continue to earn monthly income.
Wang Xifeng is envious. Compared with many senior time travelers who were either jailed or exterminated at the beginning, he is already considered very good.
After getting over the initial panic, his expectations for the future were actually the same as before.
As long as the Jia Mansion remains alive, I can hide under this big tree and live my life, get a good name, work as a minor official for one or two terms, and then go to a Qingshui Yamen to take care of myself.
Die.
Li Xuanzhu's question made Jia Lan rethink the meaning of reading. For a moment, his thoughts were all over the place, and he just felt like a mess!
Silently closing his eyes, his spiritual sense began to operate unconsciously and he emptied his mind. The material world, whether it was love or things, brought him too much interference. Li Xuanzhu's question made Jia Lan's heart move, and he suddenly had a desire.
Explore the subconscious thoughts deep within your own soul.
As Jialan's breath adjusts, pictures emerge from his subconscious...
"Ha...ha..."
Jia Lan woke up and was panting, startling Li Xuanzhu who was resting beside him.
"Chief, I'm fine..." Jia Lan stood up straight after taking a breath, and the coolness of the autumn wind brought him back to his senses.
The scenes I saw in my mind were really terrifying.
Jia Lan used to have nightmares late at night. It was terrifying enough to see the entire Jia family being wiped out, leaving only a vast white area.
That's why he was afraid and wanted to escape.
But here, what he saw was the destruction of the entire world.
The sky collapsed and the floods surged to the earth like mountains. The submerged people did not struggle at all, because it looked like water, but in fact it was steaming, and the temperature was not much lower than lava! The strange thing is that such a temperature did not turn the water vapor
Completely evaporated, as if the five elements had completely lost their balance.
Yes, balance! This is a world that is completely out of balance. The sky has turned into the earth, and the earth has turned around. The sun has lost its trace. When you look up, you can only see the blood-red moon.
The density of the air was completely out of control, and the ground seemed like outer space. The surviving people were floating one by one. But are they really lucky?
In the end, there is only one color left in the sky and the earth.
It is also a vast expanse of white.
Jia Lan, who was dripping with sweat, faced the mountain chief's gaze, breathed, and gritted his teeth and replied: "Lan studies and does nothing else, but it is not a waste of time for a man to live in this world!"
"Okay!" Li Xuan opened his squinted eyes again after listening, and gave a high-five with a sincere expression of appreciation: "You student is really a monster, talented and intelligent, you can see through everything, but you are not good at all.
, the whole person is full of staleness, and there is no trace of youthful heroism. Now that you can say such a thing, I feel relieved!"
